Hardback. Black cloth boards lettered in white with the striking silver and black dust-jacket. Lavishly illustrated mainly in colour. Text in French. Published in conjunction with the exhibition at the Pompidou centre in Paris. Archigram was an avant-garde British architectural group active between 1961 and 1974 whose unbuilt projects and media-savvy provocations "spawned the most influential architectural movement of the 1960s", according to Princeton Architectural Press study Archigram (1999). Using paper architecture (or visionary architecture), they imagined physically adaptive cities heavily embraced by modernism. The group tapped into the zeitgeist captured by Richard Hamilton's "This Is Tomorrow" exhibition in 1956 at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, by Pop Art, by the turned-on, tuned-out psychedelic counterculture, and by the gnomic pronouncements of the media theorist Marshall McLuhan.
